Here is the
wikipedia explanation. -Sigh- I don't know if people in
countries other than the U.S. have been innoculated with continuous
fetus-to-grave anti-communist/marxist propagana like we have. It is
very droll.
'The committee said the United States imprisoned two journalists
without charge or trial -- Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein,
now held for eight months in Iraq, and Al Jazeera cameraman Sami
al-Haj, jailed for five years and now held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

as a result of mad cow disease. It is a serious health risk for
many reasons; the big one is that it is untreatable. If you get
it, you will die. The deadly human form can only be detected from
post-mortem examination. Another reason is that it is spread
by prions which
can attach to surfaces (grills, utensils, surgical instruments) and
cannot be removed by normal sterilization procedures. From
the Wikipedia article: 'Unlike other pathogens, prions are not subject
to denaturation by protease, HEAT,
radiation, and formalin treatments.' (emphasis mine)
The US 80
billion$ beef industry is obviously concerned - but not about the
health of beef consumers. They do massive damage
control while continuing to duck inspections and
responsibility.
The major media outlets have of course botched coverage by
sensationalizing mad cow disease rather than educating the public in an
objective manner. Fear brings in more viewers than facts.
Mad cow disease is, unfortunatly, the real deal.

You could've fooled me. 'Our' president is George Bush Jr., son of a former president of that name. He arrived to power through judicial fiat and serves the 1% of the American population who own more 40% of all property. 'Monarchal plutarchy', or just plain 'plutarchy' would be more accurate.
You see, this is why The Terrorists hate the U.S. In our great country, we can work hard, buy a money-eating, planned-obsolescent, poison-emmitting, car based on technology that was old in the 1800's and 99% manufactured outside of the U.S., then pay a usurious monthly insurance required by 'our' law. After the conditions of the contract with the insurance company are met, these Great Institutions then use any means possible to duck their committment and treat any claimant as a criminal. To paraphrase Henny Youngman, 'Take my country, please.'

I hate to break it to you(??!!?), but THERE WERE/ARE NO 'WMDs' IN IRAQ. Also, I'm sorry to inform you that the Easter Bunny does not exist. :P
